Towards real time in-vivo rectal dosimetry during trans-rectal ultrasound based high dose rate prostate brachytherapy using MOSkin dosimeters

Purpose To compare the dose measured by MOSkin dosimeters coupled to a trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) probe to the dose predicted by the brachytherapy treatment planning system (BTPS) during high dose rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy (pBT), and to examine the feasibility of performing real-time catheter-by-catheter analysis of in-vivo rectal dosimetry during TRUS based HDR pBT. Method Four MOSkin dosimeters were coupled to a TRUS probe during...
